Robert "Curtis" Whittecar, Sr.

Robert "Curtis" Whittecar, Sr., passed away on June 20 2024, at the age of 58 in his home in Bryant, Arkansas. He was born on September 12, 1965, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Robert led a life filled with love and devotion to his family. He cherished his son, Robert Curtis Whittecar, II, and his grandchildren Jasmine, Preston, and Harper. A proud sports enthusiast, Robert particularly enjoyed baseball and was an avid supporter of the Razorbacks as well as any team his son played for.

Family was the center of Robert's world, with his sister Cyndi being his closest confidante and best friend. He shared a special bond with his fur companion Remi, who provided him with unwavering companionship throughout the years.

Robert had a routine that brought him joy each day - starting mornings with a cup of hot coffee alongside a cold Diet Coke. He also found solace in taking long drives that allowed him to contemplate life's journey.
